Who doesn’t love a good story!? I realized how much I forget the Gospel stories of Jesus are like episodes of a TV show not just a textbook. There’s life discussions, morals, drama, heros, villains, great relatable personalities, and lots of time for re-runs! Tune into these bonus episodes to meditate, laugh, and feel your heart move for who Jesus really is… this week, I read and unpack John 2, The Wedding Feast at Cana. This is the scene of Jesus’ first miracle. As May closes (the month to honor Mary) let us remember how powerful she is to our faith journey and how compassionate she is towards our needs. Jesus wants to give us “more wine.”

Our life is what our thoughts make it. 💭 In this episode I unpack the science and scripture of thinking and how it takes the shape within us. Whether their positive, negative, healthy or unhealthy ‘thoughts’ tell us a story about who we are and how God wants to speak truth to us. Thoughts can lead us to love and purpose / or far from it. Most of it is within our control.

Who doesn’t love a good story!? I realized how much I forget the Gospel stories of Jesus are like episodes of a TV show not just a textbook. There’s life discussions, morals, drama, heros, villains, great personalities in the characters, and lots of room for re-runs!

Looking to get further in self-awareness? Knowing what false beliefs you are believing about about who you are and who God is can make everyday struggles easier. It’s good and healthy to have doubts, questions, and curiosity about life, truth, God, and yourself… but you don’t have to keep living in an unhealthy, negative inner voice of criticism, lies, insecurity, and a deprivation of God’s abundant goodness. Jesus saves you from the darkness you believe about yourself but the first step is identifying what it is you believe about yourself. There are three parts to this episode: the orphan spirit (what lies you believe about God), the inner critical voice (what lies other people have said about us/made you believe), and the inner voice (what lies you have consented to).

The rise in using crystals, healing rituals like reiki and mediums are actually bad for our souls. They make themselves look good and healing but if their power doesn’t come from God, then where is it coming from? And what is it doing to us? Jesus warned us that the enemies of this world are the powers and principalities that damage our souls and it is in these practices that the powers and principalities He was speaking of are manifesting in our bodies. The root of the issue is trust. Trust is harder than control so we take matters into our own hands to try and control our tomorrows. If you’re looking to go back to the heart of The Father: If you’re Catholic, go to confession. If you’re Christian, repent. Jesus’ washes us clean of anything we participated in if we simply ask for His forgiveness.

There is a blueprint to humanity that we haven’t been taught in detail. Human needs are wide and deep, and the medicine we might need is more simple than the addictions and over the counter drugs. When we understand what our needs are, we’re able to deepen our interactions with God, ourselves, and others. Isn’t that what we all crave!?

We all yearn for the fairytale wedding but is it really that good to be true? Are we Cinderella’s and Prince Charming’s waiting for the perfect person to show up and that’s it?
